With Malicious Eye
07:16

(solo: Zachary)
With every word, she lied
Casts a short glance
Of revealing intent
Taking my place alongside
Gazed upon with malicious eye
Striking, unforgiving
Tempting, unsagacious
Brief and precious
From whence she came, obscure
Slight glimmer of hope
Or a foolish wish
I remain of her, unsure
(solo: Zachary)
In despair, I turn to her
In the stars I saw
The end, already written
I now fear her love unpure
Gazed upon with malicious eye
Striking, unforgiving
Tempting, unsagacious
Brief and precious
With every word, she lied
Casts a short glance
Of revealing intent
Taking my place alongside
Gazed upon with malicious eye
Striking, unforgiving
Tempting, unsagacious
Brief and precious

(solo: Leona)
Slowly start to wake
And live amongst the stars
Experience sidereal ecstasy
Seeing cosmic bazaars
I see the colors you don't see
Running down the wall
Infinity between spaces
Unfamiliar sights enthrall
But now I start to wonder
Do the others know
Will they persecute me
For the power I have grown
I see the colors you don't see
Running down the wall
Infinity between spaces
Unfamiliar sights enthrall
Reality changing
Rearranging
Courage waning
Madness reigning
You can see me
But won't come near
Can you hear me
I can smell your fear
You'll never know
When I draw near
You softly breathing
See your dreams quite clear
(solo: Zachary)
They'll never find me
But they'll never try at all
Dead body lying
The soul beigins to crawl
(solo: Frank)
If you know my secrets
Then in blood you'll drown
If you choose to defy me
I'll bring my hammer down
I see the colors you don't see
Running down the wall
Infinity between spaces
Unfamiliar sights enthrall
Reality changing
Rearranging
Courage waning
Madness reigning

No One Came To Mourn Me
06:09
|
|||
No one came to mourn me
Nights of obsession
And endless decades
Wasted on frivolity
I never saw those who loved me
Myopic from ambition
A life without respite
Unaware of coming tragedy
(Solo: Frank)
I missed those who sought me
Often lost and never found
But from the fate
I did not flee
Under the oak tree
Forlorn and alone
He wipes a tear
As no one came to mourn me

Apostate
07:56
|
|||
Contemplating loss of faith
And waxing upon matters of fate
Ready for the longing to abate
All shall be well, the lady sayth
Time to abandon wishful lies
Will not recant, no desire to try
The wishes of the divine, I defied
When I witnessed truth in her eye
In times besieged by conflict
Life, death, the ascent, the fall
After time erodes and driving winds
Who will succumb, who stands tall
Craving war is in our blood
But the wise ones will choose their battles
While the brave and foolish
Will surely fall
(Solo: Zachary)
How many times have I stood before
On this unhallowed field
Draw into a harried maelstrom
From the anger that I wield
(Solo: Vincent)
As I settle into the fog of war
Bloodlust overtakes me
Hear only the death rattle
Full depth of rage unsealed
Today will I choose
To die upon this hill
My deadliest enemy
Is my dying will

Les Autres
11:01
|

(Solo: Frank)
A torment for me, realized
Burns bright and won't subside
Did you that hell is The Others
I now know that hell is The Others
In an empty room
With barren walls
Risen again and standing tall
A tiny feat, yet not so small
Brave enough to face the world again
But we both know how this will end
A glimpse of joys beyond reproach
They escape as I approach
As I try to explain
How my life and soul it drains
The Others, inhumane
And indifferent to the pain
(Solo: Frank)
A puzzled look arrives
And I begin to sigh
As you dare to ask why
I want to die
The bile rises in my throat
cuts off air, I begin to choke
From this pain there grows no love
As no hand ever came from above
My mind goes blank
My vision turns red
And comes the violence
That I most dread
Feral and uncaged
And blind with rage
is this the time
I go too far
Take a deep breath
And begin to regain control
Hijacked by extreme passion
But I can control my actions
But I see a glance
Another, not by chance
The Others judging gaze
Perception becomes crazed
(Solo: Evan)
Hell is The Others
(Solo: Evan)
Hell is The Others
And my Hell is You
(Solo: Frank)

Northern Crown Florida
In the cracks between the Doom, Prog, and Rock n’ Roll genres, Northern Crown find a unique fit. Their first EP, “In the Hands of the Betrayer”, knocked on the door to the halls of classic metal. Their first album, “The Others”, tested its footing on the fringe of prog. Their self-titled second album was a hydra waving the flag of Doom n’ Roll. "In A Pallid Shadow" will be released July 3, 2020. ... more
